Nelida Pennington
Level 2 Certified IFS Therapist, Level 2 Deep Brain Reorienting, Cert. PAT, M.Couns, PMNZAC, NZRN, PG Cert MHS
Further to working as a registered nurse in mental health for several decades, I was introduced to Internal Family Systems through supervision. Personally experiencing this amazing approach to understanding our inner world, drew me to IFS training. I am now a Level 2 Certified IFS Therapist, and have also completed my masters in counselling degree.
I have been running a private counselling practice since 2021.
In 2022 my ADHD was confirmed. This influenced my masters research topic to explore the lived experience of other women diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood. The findings of my ADHD research confirmed the need for personalised approaches in counselling that are also neuro-affirming and led by the person. This is my counselling approach, alongside the beautifully compassionate framework of IFS. I also work with Deep Brain Reorienting, and look forward to opportunities to support psychedelic-assisted therapy as it becomes available.
